Chapter 1067 New Record
On the evening of December 22, Malaga Rose Garden Stadium.
In the seventeenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Malaga away.
The team traveled a long way back from Japan after playing the Club World Championships, and went to the away game to challenge Malaga non-stop. Ancelotti had to rotate the team lineup. Yang Yang was also put on the bench because of running back and forth for two consecutive days .
In the first half, the two sides played zero to zero, and neither of them scored a goal.
But as soon as the second half started, Pellegrini's team took the lead in attacking. The Spanish teenager Isco, who had just won the European Golden Boy Award, volleyed and broke through Casillas' goal. Add the first record.
This is the first Spanish player to score a Real Madrid goal at the Rose Garden Stadium in the past twelve years.
The player Isco has performed better and better in the last two or three seasons. This season, he has played well in La Liga and the Champions League, leading Malaga to beat Chelsea and other strong teams. The first to qualify with his head held high.
It is said that Barcelona are coveting him and have always wanted him.
One goal behind, Real Madrid also had to make adjustments, Yang Yang came off the bench in the 60th minute.
Six minutes later, Xavi Alonso crossed diagonally, Yang Yang pulled to the right side of the penalty area, stopped the ball and turned around to pass, Xavi Martinez then inserted a header to equalize the score for Real Madrid.
After that, until the 82nd minute, Camacho returned a pass to Demichelis for a mistake. After being intercepted by David Silva, he took advantage of the situation and sent a diagonal pass to the penalty area. Yang Yang ran out of neutral and no one In the case of defense, he pushed and scored from close range, reversing the score for Real Madrid.
In the end, Real Madrid, relying on Yang Yang's one pass and one shot, reversed Malaga 2-1 in the away game.
...
Reversing Malaga and winning 26 games in a row, Real Madrid tied the record created by Cruyff in Ajax that year, but the game was very difficult, especially Isco, who showed Very active.
On the other hand, the Real Madrid team is obviously in a sluggish state, but both the media and the fans are more tolerant of this.
For any team like Real Madrid to play so many games in a row and almost become a trapeze player, the iron body can't bear it, let alone defeat the opponent in the last game.
Malaga is not a weak team. The performance of this team in the Champions League is enough to prove their strength.
Twenty-six consecutive victories, fourteen consecutive victories in La Liga, and Real Madrid are not far away from the seventeen consecutive victories that Mancini set in Inter Milan. This is the longest winning streak in the history of the five major leagues. .
While Real Madrid reversed Malaga 2-1, Barcelona defeated Valladolid 3-1 in an away game. Xavi, Messi and Tello scored successively.
With this goal, Messi continued to chase after him with 26 goals, keeping one step away from Yang Yang's 27 goals.
Real Madrid is three points behind Barcelona in the standings due to one less game, but six points more than Atletico Madrid.
Since the Sheets lost to Valencia, they lost to Real Madrid and Barcelona. The situation is far from as strong as the beginning of the season. This also proves that Simeone's team is still unable to compete with the Western Super League duo for the time being.
As for Falcao, who competed with Yang Yang and Messi for the scorer list at the beginning of the season, he has only scored 17 goals so far, and he has been far behind. It is really hard to see signs of catching up.

After the seventeenth round of La Liga, the league was suspended and Christmas and winter break came.
However, this winter break is still not easy for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s winter break is shorter than other teams because they missed one game of Copa del Rey and La Liga. They need to start the game earlier. The opponent is Celta Vigo. After the winter break, they will play in La Liga in a week of consecutive double matches. and Copa del Rey.
Because of this, the club's winter break this year is only one week. After Christmas, they will return to the team for training in advance on the 29th to prepare for the next Copa del Rey make-up match.
At the club's Christmas dinner, Real Madrid President Florentino thanked the players for their hard work in the past year on behalf of the club. At the same time, he also expressed his pride for the team's six championships and three consecutive Champions League titles. Encourage.
Not only that, although the renovation project of the Bernabéu Stadium has already started, Real Madrid has fulfilled the player's bonus promise, and also said that it will start a new round of player renewal plans, including Marcelo, Harvey Alonso and other players. Already in progress, or have negotiated a contract renewal.
Among them, Marcelo started talking before the injury. With his serious injury, Real Madrid did not suspend it, but directly signed a contract extension with him, keeping the world's top-ranked top left-back in Real Madrid .
The situation of Harvey Alonso is relatively special. His contract expires in 2014, and there is still one and a half years to go. Real Madrid hopes to renew his contract for two years, and his salary will also be raised appropriately. , but Harvey Alonso said that he only hopes to renew his contract for one year, and then sign every year, depending on his status.
In addition, this time Harvey Alonso did not ask for a salary increase, because before that, Real Madrid took the initiative to give him a salary increase when he did not ask for a salary increase, which made him feel bad about his current salary. I am satisfied with the treatment, so I don't plan to ask for a salary increase.
In addition to Marcelo and Harvey Alonso, the renewal of some other players is also on the agenda, especially young players such as Jesse and Morata, who have performed well this season, are very optimistic in the Real Madrid team. player of.
...
Due to the tight schedule, Yang Yang did not go on vacation during the winter break. Instead, he worked hard to adjust his physical condition, especially his physical fitness, according to the plan of the coaching staff and Winston Bogard.
The first half of the game was very stressful, but the second half was obviously greater and the challenge of the game was even more difficult.
On December 29th, Real Madrid held their first training session after the winter break at the Di Stefano Stadium, the home of the second team of Castilla at the Valdebebas training base, and it was open to fans. Attracted tens of thousands of fans came to the scene to watch the game.
At present, there are still two injured in the Real Madrid team, one is Marcelo, who has been absent for nearly three months due to a fracture, but he has not been able to see signs of returning to training, and then he has to adjust his physical condition and state , These all take time, so the day of comeback is still far away.
Marcelo also came to the scene that day. He looked a lot fatter, which is also the result of long-term recovery.
But any professional player, as long as he lacks training for a long time, he will definitely gain weight.
The other one is Vermaelen, but his problem is a minor one. He injured his leg before and will be able to return to training in a few days.
But just after the first training session on the first day of the team's training camp, the Real Madrid team doctor began to conduct a detailed medical examination on Pepe, because Pepe reported that he had unbearable pain in his right ankle during training.
When the results of the examination came out, Pepe had to undergo ankle surgery as soon as possible.
This is not a sudden injury, but a hidden danger that has accumulated for a long time. I may not have noticed it before, but after the winter break was stopped, and now I started training again, I noticed it.
According to preliminary estimates, Pepe will be absent for at least a month.
Marcelo, Vermaelen and Pepe, as soon as the winter break began, Real Madrid suffered another injury.
What's more terrible is that Ramos got another yellow card in the game against Malaga, accumulating five yellow cards. In the next 18th round of the home game against Real Sociedad, he must be suspended.
In this way, Real Madrid's central defender only has Varane as a genuine card, as well as versatile players Nacho and Arbeloa.
But Real Madrid really don't have time to slowly adjust and try.

On the evening of January 3rd, the first round of the knockout round of the Copa del Rey was played.
Real Madrid challenge Celta Vigo away.
Ancelotti formed a brand new line of defense in this game, Azpilicueta, Harvey Martinez, Ramos and Arbeloa.
Harvey Martinez played a central defender before, and even Benitez once thought that he would be an excellent central defender, but under Ancelotti, he has always been an important candidate for the midfielder position, but now the central defender The position is short of manpower, and he has to retreat to the back line as a last resort.
In the first half, the two sides fell into a bitter battle, and each other's state was not ideal. In the second half, Real Madrid was the first to score with the assist of Xavi Alonso Yang Yang, and then in the 78th minute, Robben made another goal to help Real Madrid. Expand the score to two to zero.
But in the last ten minutes, Real Madrid was bombarded by their opponents and conceded a goal in the 87th minute. In the end, it was thanks to the excellent performance of Casillas and Harvey Martinez , Only then did the victory be preserved.
In the end, Real Madrid narrowly beat Celta Vigo 2-1 away.
Harvey Martinez, who returned to the central defender position, was elected the best player in the game, mainly because his defense and ball delivery throughout the game left a deep impression on people, and his performance was remarkable.
...
Winning the twenty-seventh game in a row, Real Madrid broke the winning streak record set by Cruyff in Ajax, created a new winning streak record, created a new legend, and attracted media and fans all over the world. extensive discussion and praise.
But for Real Madrid themselves, there is no sense of happiness at all.
Pepe has been out for more than a month due to surgery, there is no timetable for Marcelo's comeback, Vermaelen has not recovered yet, Ramos will be suspended in the league again, and the next game against Real Sociedad at home, how to play?
There are only three days between the Copa del Rey supplementary match and the eighteenth round of La Liga. There is no time for Real Madrid to think carefully, and all Real Madrid players are also trying to adjust their status, because the away game against Celta Vigo World War I was indeed in a slump.
Facing the Royal Society with such a performance, it is definitely more ominous.
Coach Ancelotti has no other choice but to discharge the central defender combination of Javi Martinez and Varane.
A friendly cameo, but fortunately, he played very bravely against Celta Vigo in the last game. One is a young teenager. Can such a partner stop Real Sociedad?
No one knows the answer, but they can only bite the bullet.
